Cannot delete second public folder store from Exchange 2003
I created a second public folder tree and related public folder store for a test. But when I try to delete it, it wants to migrate replicas to another Exchange server. We are only running a single Exchange server. I've tried dismounting and deleting the related .edb and .stm files, and trying to delete again without success. I can't seem to find any articles on point.Thank you for any help!

I used the system manager, is there a command prompt level shell? I haven't used it if there is. This new public folder is in our First Storage Group, if that matters. Thanks for responding!

Hi,I suggest we delete the Public Folder Store via ADSI Edit tool.The location is Configuration--->CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com-->CN=Services-->CN=Microsoft Exchange-->CN=First Organization-->CN=Administrative Groups-->CN=First Administrative Groups-->CN=Servers-->CN=Server name-->CN=InformationStore, find the Public Folder store, delete it.Regarding the ADSI Edit tool, please locate it in the installation file of Exchange, you can view the article as the reference.http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/ebca3324-5427-471a-bc19-9aa1decd3d401033.mspx?mfr=trueThanksAllen
